> Klingon word: Su'nIm
> Part of speech: noun
> Definition: raised profile, ridges, pattern (as in fingerprints, 
>             tires, shoe tread)

>From qepHom 2015 we also learned that the impression/trace left by a {Su'nIm} is a {vem} "print, mark, tracks, image, pattern (left in the dirt from stepping on it)".

A single forehead ridge is a {vIlHom}.  To describe foreheads the verbs {vIl} "be ridgy" and {Hab} "be smooth" are usually employed though I've also seen {beQ} "be flat", {ghegh} "be rough" and {tlher} "be lumpy" on occasion.
